Carbon pile load or hydrometer which is best
 
I have 2 golf carts and always have battery issues, my DVM doesn't tell me anything usefull about the real load capacity so I am looking at a HF 500 amp
carbon pile tester for $50 or a good hydrometer, which do you think would give a true battery condition.

Clip your DMM probles on one battery at a time and drive it uphill. If all batteries are in the same condition, what is the voltage before and during an uphill run?

Ok, I will enlist the grandkids after school and give that a try

As suggested the cart is the BEST tester. A good refractometer will analyze the cell condition if needed.

Not having grandkids living nearby, I use a DVM with a Min/Max function. :mrgreen:
